AMERICAN LABOR.

The census Of 1880 showed that OF the
men employed in the protected industries
of the United States, seventy per cent.
were Of foreign birth. There was once a
time when American born citizens were in
the majority in our mills and manutac-
tories, but not so now. 1t has been con-
sidered q great sin against the people OF
our country to import foreign manuiae-
lures, but not so to import foreigners to
make the goods on our soil, In most places
wherever a coal mine, iron mill OF cotton
factory starts, foreign colony plants itself.
A Western paper says: "A riot in Denver,
participated in by q large number OF
wUrkingmen employed in smelterS,
foundrirs and other similar establish
ments in and near Denver, developed the
fact that the entire crowd was made mp OF
Poles, Hungarians and Italians, not one OF
whom could speak the English language,
and nearly all Of whom were newcomers.
There was not an American anywhere IN
the settlement, and the manner OF life
which these toilers had adopted, either
through preference OF by force Of necessity,
preeluded the possibility Of competition
with them by American-born working
men,"
The complaint is not against a proper
immigration, but against the practice OF
bringing over men to take places that be-
long to our own people. When Americans
pay for high protective tariff they ought
to have a refusal of its benefits.

REVOLUTION IN THE SOUTH.

KEW OLD IlON IN HE SUI liz
That there is a great revolution going on
in the public sentiment Of the South is APP
parent TO even the unObserying. The new
South is no longer myth or dream, but
reality. Old things seem to have passed
away and all things become new.
The Democratic and Wing statesmen Of
the old South believed in a strong indiyid-
ualism and the right of every man to regu-
late himself The structure of the old
South had q corner stone upon abstract
rights. Men chung 10 ideas and traditions
with tenacity that was at times narrow
and almost fanatical. The institution OF
slavery was recognized as the organic law
Of the land, and was contended for with a
zeal that never faltered. The statesmen OF
the old South were theoretical and were gen
orally men of education and property and
had time TO devote TO the study of public
affairs They belonged mostly to the agri-
cultural and mercantile classes while the
statesmen Of the North were mostly law
yers. Ii was their business TO be states
men and they devoted themselves to their
calling with zeal and pride.
But the new South is getting new
methods, principles and manners Lees is
thought Of abstract rights and cherished
theories and traditions. When papers
welding such influence as the Atlanta
Constellation, New Orleans T6pss- Democrat
and Nashville URiOR come ont boldly for
strong protection, q great revolution has
been wrought from the abstract principle
Of free trade that was the pole star ofmany
statesmen of the old South. When Ken
lucky, the home of HENRY WATrERSON,
and the star-eyed goddess, is passing
through the thrOes Of n protectiOnist rev.
olution, the contrast seems more striking
still.
Several Southern statesmen supported
the Blair bill, and at least one southern
Legislature recommended its passage,
while large numbers Of people throughout
the South were its warm friends. What
would the statesmen of the old South who
hated paternaiism in government as they
hated the man who would impeaCh their
honor, say eOuld they now see those upon
whom their mantle has fallen, taking to
ths bosom an idea that they spnrned with
contempt? It is enough to make the
shades of the old statesmen turn over in
their graves This idea Of paternalism is
not yet general in the South, bat that it
should exist to the extent it does, marks a
wonderful change in the sentiments of
Southern people.
Another thing; The old South and her
statesmen were y like a flint against !

Tips the Beam at 42O.

On Col. S. III. Hawkins's Furlov
plantation. in this county, lives one Of
the most remarkable old colored
couples that we have heard of recently.
Artemus Tucker and his wife Narcs,us
are well known among the many
negroes in that section. and none COM
mand more respect from their race
than they. Art" as he is familarly
called, is eighty years old, and for the
past fifty-thrce consecutive years has
lived on the place. Narcissus. his
queen, is nearly sixty years old and
tips the beam at APO pounds in her
stockings. while her lege lord scarcely
weighs 100 pounds She is as black as
raven and in every sense a typical
Georgia darky. Her only duty 10 to
milk the cows and attend to the butter,
can attest the fact that it is a duty well
performed. Since the Americas, Pres
ton and Lumpkin road reached the
station near the plantation she once
tried to enter one of the coaches for
the purpose of coming to town. but the
door was not near large enough to
admit her, and she was compelled to
ride in on flat car. She is very
piously inclined, and attends church
every Sunday, at which time a two
horse wagon is furnished her, which,
by the way, she fills comfortably. and
thus prepared she rides through the
plantation to the little log church
with as much pride at the distinction
shown her as would Queen Victoria.
She is queer old genius, and with her
''old man" hopes to I've on and finally
to be buried on Mars Sans" domain,
probably the only home that either ever
had. Americas (Ga.) Recorder.

great labor to dig old nursery stock
beginning eight, ten or twelve feet back
on every side so as to get all the roots.
In fact, as the rows are 81 or four feet
apart, the roots of one row of trees
intertwine with those adjoining. and
frequently go even farther While the
tree is small, there is sprangie OF
small feeding roots near the trunk
which are easily taken up. II trans

only two or three year old vine or

for transplanting. Nursery -men have
learned the advantage OF subsoiing
among their stock, running one furrow
in the centre OF the space between the
rows. This root prunes the tree and
plants on either side, and is nearly
equal in value to transplanting them.

Juvenile Bank Accounts.

How am | 10 provide a bank account
for my children, when have so scanty

parent exclaim. BY teaching your
children to earn money. or course It
is not always possible for them to save
it when earned; that -, there are eases
where it must be applied to meet the
necess ties Of life at once. Oh ldren
cannot begin too early To earn a little
money. and there are an .ntiaite num-
Der of ways in which they can gain a
few cents. giving them an ineXpressible
feeling of pride and ownersh p in hav-
1t will serve as an incentive To greater
industry, and the habits they VIII thus
acquire will be OF vastly more benefit
than the money they save.
One of nv own boys in early child
hood evinced strong propensity to
extravaganza. and although our means
were not such rs to permit any great
and foolish outlay Of small coins by the
lad, still he managed TO spend. in the
most trifling way, all the cents and
dimes given 10 him by fond grandpar-
ents and uncles. One Christmas l gave
him bright tin bank, promising him
ten cents for every half dollar he NC
cumulated. When his savings had
reached the sum of s. (and thcy We're
long in so doing). l put the sum IN a
savings bank, giving him bank book
of his own. From that time | noticed
a decided change in his character. He

earnest, prudent boy, soon devising
ways and means of adding TO his little

"Oh, yes you can. Put it on cries

"But I'll look so awful

furiously. "Oh, just can't 90 out in

frantically until she reaches the water,
when she shricks out:
"Oh, it's cold! Ugh! Hee! I'll look
so awful when I'm wet! O-o-o-o-h, it s

And when she comes out and is dress
ed again she bores everybody she

again:
